Full spoilers follow for 2017’s Logan.
Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman have moved to address Marvel fans’ biggest questions following news that Wolverine will co-star in Deadpool 3.
The acting duo, who confirmed that the fan favorite adamantium-laced superhero would appear in Deadpool 3 yesterday (September 27), took to YouTube and social media to answer the most pressing queries fans have about the Marvel Phase 5 project.
Check out the video below:
For one, in the 75-second long video, Reynolds and Jackman mostly explain how Wolverine is alive in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). The response comes after fans questioned how the clawed superpowered being can exist in Marvel’s cinematic juggernaut, what with him dying in 2017’s Logan, Jackman’s supposedly final appearance as Wolverine.
“Rest assured, we’re going to answer all of them [your questions],” Jackman says. “For example, how is Wolverine alive after Logan?”
As Reynolds quickly explains, Logan takes place in 2029 in a separate timeline to the MCU’s increasingly convoluted timeline. “Logan died in Logan, [so] we’re not touching that,” Reynolds adds, before the Free Guy star begins to open up on the plot of Deadpool 3.
Or so it would seem. As Reynolds and Jackman begin to outline the story, Wham’s ‘Jitterbug’ track starts playing over the top, meaning we don’t actually get to hear what the pair discuss. It’s a typically droll, bait and switch-style video from Reynolds and company.
Given the technology available to audio experts in the present, though, we wouldn’t be surprised if someone tries to – and successfully – isolates Reynolds and Jackman’s conversation to hear what they actually say. Full transparency: we’d be amazed if the duo actually say anything spoiler-y about Deadpool 3’s narrative.
